Would this work for chihuahuas or is the cable too heavy? Thanks.

This item does not come with a cable. You can purchase cables separately and get the size and weight you want.

There is no cable. You can attach any tether you want so it would work for any dog.

The ball in the middle rotates. You supply the size & length of cable you want.

This doesn't come with a cable, but if you are referring to the swivel it would be fine for a chihuahua.

Since you supply your own cable or leash, this would work fine for dogs of any size, including chihuahuas. The swivel moves very, very freely so even a tiny dog will be able to move about without effort in any direction up to the length of the line you choose to connect.

For sure as you can put on your own cable tie out. That's what I did for my young collie pups!

That's not gonna be a problem with this gate. Your Chihuahua will never jump over this gate. You can rest assured.

My Chihuahua, Bruce Lee, weighs almost 7lbs and it is perfect for him. I think your Shima will fit perfectly! It is safe and secure for your pet.

Yes you can! I used this on my Chihuahua, and it worked great. There are two levels of vibrations and you control duration. This startles them and stops the behavior. I wouldn't use the shock feature because of the size of dog. This should work for you, good luck!

I wouldnt have the gutts to put this collar in a chihuahua... My dog weighs 10kg and for him it works on level 1, which makes me think it would be too much for a chihuahua ;/

That would depend upon the size of your chihuahua. We have 3 dogs, the smallest is a 12 pound jackapoo. If he could get through the gate, he would have already. We are very happy with the construction and functionality and purpose of the gate. j

Way too big and heavy, I tried it on my 7 pound chihuahua. Sprayed everytime she shook her head. I started with a water gun, works wonders, only had to spray her once, no more barking. I didn't think it would work so well on her because she is 8 years old already.

In my opinion, no. My Chihuahua is only 9lbs and that was pushing it. It destroyed his back. Steroids & pain killers for 2 weeks for him. :(

Thank all of you for your answers. I did buy this and if anyone else has a chihuahua it does work very well. :-)

My 10 pound dog can wiggle her way out of it. I think your cat is probably more agile than my chihuahua :) Your cat may be able to squeeze out of it. Maybe a small would fit more snugly than the medium. Other than that its a really good quality harness and if properly fit its safe and seems comfortable for the pet.

Depending on the size of your dog, I don't think your dog could chew thru this one. Even if the outer part of the cable is chewed it would be difficult to chew the cable.

I bought it for my chihuahua who is 2.50kilos havn't used it a lot the small is still a bit big for him and very stiff. I have been told harnesses can be a hazzard for older people due to possible injury. Hopefully will fit as he grows but I don't think so as he is only going to get to about 3kilos. Sorry not much help to you.

I have a 4 lb chihuahua and she has no issues. Unless you count the cat that blocks her way by sitting at the top of it. (Cat sold separately)

I am notsure about the difference in models, but it is lightweight enough for my chihuahua

I would not even purchase this item. It is poor quality and did not work. I had to return it. The collar would be way to big for a chihuahua so you would have to change it out. I think the receiver would also get in the dogs way.

Maybe. My 5lb Chihuahua is comfortable and seems to fill it fairly well. If your dog is not tall it would probably work well.

Possibly, my dog is a terrier/ chihuahua mix and he has longer legs than the typical chihuahua. He was too tall to stand comfortably in this carrier. If your dog is short and not inclined to restlessness,he may be comfortable.
